don't hate me, because i had fun with this surprisingly. nothing better than hallucinating people. also, you can't catch a cold by being cold. read, review and enjoy.

"Lin, are you okay?"

"K-Korra? I'm fine. I just need to h-have a glass of water."

Korra flicked on the light, causing Lin to hide under the covers. "Big bad Beifong now afraid of the lights?"

"It's not the light. It's the dark pixies! They like the light."

"Pixies?"

"They make you sing songs and turn your brains to mush."

Korra walked up to the earthbender and pressed a cool hand to her sweaty forehead. "Okay, fever and you're hallucinating. I told you to wear a jacket! But oh no, 'I don't need a jacket' you said. 'I'll be fine' you said." Korra stopped her rant short, when she remembered one very important detail, Mako also denied to take a jacket last night. She ran out of the bedroom and into the kitchen to find Mako on Bolin's back.

"The floor is lava! Bolin! The floor is lava!"

"Get off of me! Did you drink cactus juice or something?"

Korra struggled not to laugh, she really did. She wrapped her arms around Mako and pulled him off his younger brother. "Lets get you into bed."

"Korra? When did you grow a tail?"

The Avatar decided to play along, it wasn't often she had a chance to have this much fun. "Last week, I thought I told you about it. Hey Chief, I found an inmate for you."

"Ten-Ten! I thought you had work."

"Spirits no. Lin, this is Mako, not your husband." Korra lowered Mako into the bed and ran a hand through his hair. "See, he isn't bald."

"That's just his five o'clock shadow." Lin wrapped her arms around Mako and shuddered as a cold chill ran through her body.

Mako returned the gesture, a stupid grin on his face. "That's right, mister bad boy firebender will keep the lady warm and safe."

Korra face palmed at his words, feeling embarrassed for him on his behalf but let out a sigh of relief when they began to doze off, Lin cuddled up to Mako as he wrapped an arm around her. "Adorable." She walked to the phone and dialled the one person that could help her. "Tenzin, Lin and Mako are sick with a fever and hallucinating."

"How bad is it?" Tenzin was already putting on his coat in his office, ready to jump into action at Korra's command.

"She thinks Mako is you, pixies are out to get her and Mako is acting like a 'bad boy' and thinks the floor is lava."

"Fantastic."

"Can you pick up some frozen frogs from the pharmacy?"

"TENZIN! I CAN DO A SUMMERSAULT!"

"NO BABY! THE FLOOR IS LAVA! YOU COULD DIE!"

"And make it fast."

Tenzin walked into the nearest drug store to find it packed, thanks to the recent snowfall and storms that had swept over the city. Tenzin wondered through the isles, stopping when he saw an icebox with the sign 'frozen frogs' on it, a few meters away from him. Just as he was about to make his way down the isle, he locked eyes with an old woman, who glared at him, clearly determined to get her frail old hands on some frozen frogs. Tenzin airdashed to the icebox, not wanting to take any chances of loosing the frogs. He opened it to find only two frozen frogs left. "Yes."

As he reached in to grab them, he felt something hit him on the head. "That. Is. Cheating! I. Need. Those. Frogs!"

"Madam, stop hitting me on the head. Walking sticks are used to help you walk. Not hitting someone on the head!" Once she backed off, Tenzin straightened up and gave her his signature 'I'm sucking up to you smile.' "Now, are you in desperate need of these frogs?"

"Yes, I could get the fever tomorrow." The hunched over old woman made a grab for the frogs, to which Tenzin raised them above his head.

"I'm sorry miss, but my wife and her fellow officer are sick now and they need them."

"Fine! I hope you get sick!"

Tenzin rolled his eyes in return, dismissing her words and walked up to the counter. After hours of waiting in line, happy that it was cold enough to keep the frogs frozen. "Just these thanks."

"You have thirty minutes before they thaw out. If they thaw out beforehand, I suggest going to the hospital may be the next best thing."

Tenzin thanked the chemist before sprinting out of the store. Opening his glider, he took off towards Air Temple Island.

Korra let out a sigh of relief, having finally gotten Mako and Lin to go to sleep, when a certain airbending master entered the family home. "Tenzin? I called you six hours ago! What took so long?"

"Sorry, there was a line at the register and I ran into this old woman. It's been a tough day." Tenzin entered his bedroom to find Mako and Lin cuddled up together, shivering slightly from their fever. "No, I'm not jealous at all. Breathe, they're cold, and they're just searching for warmth." He placed a cool hand on his wife's shoulder and shaked her gently. "Lin, here, suck on this." Lin opened her mouth and began to suck on the frog. Tenzin didn't bother waking Mako, deciding to shove the frog into his mouth without warning. "Suck on that."

It was a few minutes of sucking before Lin realised she had a frog in her mouth, that was currently squirming in an effort to get free. Spitting it out, she let out a groan. "Why? Why did it have to be the frogs?"

"Welcome back to the world of the sane."

"Tenzin? If you're there, then who's-" Lin looked down to find Mako sucking on a frog like a toddler sucks on a dummy. "Get him out of my bed."

"Gladly." Picking up the rather large firebender, Tenzin put him back into his own bed, in his own bedroom, watching in amusement at his reaction to sucking on a frog.

"Why was there a frog in my mouth!?"

Tenzin didn't bother to answer the question, deciding to leave the man baffled. "No one cuddles with my wife except me."
